doesn't he say he was just given the information? he's been saying that poo poo for months.

I'm assuming he means "It's not my fault if I'm wrong, I'm just repeating what someone else said", not "I just now received this information". Either way, it's a terrible excuse, taken at face value one means it's OK to parrot incorrect info without fact checking, the other means he's suffering from senile dementia

Its just easier to blame his staff/anyone else than take any responsibility for the poo poo he says, his supporters are the same type people in my experience

lol we threaded the needle on a bunch of these because human judgement and restraint prevailed, and now we all feel there's a not insignificant chance we'll end our 70 year run of not loving this up not because of a miscalculation over tensions or even because of an honest human error, but because we elected a senile retard to head the world's leading nuclear power

There's old Stanislav but there's also this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Arkhipov

quote:

Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov (Russian: Василий Александрович Архипов) (30 January 1926 – 19 August 1998) was a Soviet Navy officer who is credited with casting the single vote that prevented a Soviet nuclear strike (and presumably all out nuclear war) during the Cuban Missile Crisis. As flotilla commander and second-in-command of the nuclear-missile submarine B-59, only Arkhipov refused to authorize the captain's use of nuclear torpedoes against the United States Navy, a decision requiring the agreement of all three senior officers aboard. In 2002 Thomas Blanton, who was then director of the US National Security Archive, said that "Vasili Arkhipov saved the world".[1]


Been quite a few close calls lol.

quote:

An argument broke out, with only Arkhipov against the launch. Arkhipov eventually persuaded Savitsky to surface and await orders from Moscow. This effectively averted the nuclear warfare which probably would have ensued if the nuclear weapon had been fired.
